11 If they say, “Come along with us;
let’s lie in wait(A) for innocent blood,

and whole, like those who go down to the pit;(C)
13 we will get all sorts of valuable things
and fill our houses with plunder;
14 cast lots with us;
we will all share the loot(D)”—
15 my son, do not go along with them,
do not set foot(E) on their paths;(F)
16 for their feet rush into evil,(G)
they are swift to shed blood.(H)
17 How useless to spread a net
where every bird can see it!
18 These men lie in wait(I) for their own blood;
they ambush only themselves!(J)
19 Such are the paths of all who go after ill-gotten gain;
it takes away the life of those who get it.(K)
Wisdom’s Rebuke
20 Out in the open wisdom calls aloud,(L)
she raises her voice in the public square;
21 on top of the wall[a] she cries out,
at the city gate she makes her speech:
22 “How long will you who are simple(M) love your simple ways?
How long will mockers delight in mockery
and fools hate(N) knowledge?
23 Repent at my rebuke!
Then I will pour out my thoughts to you,
I will make known to you my teachings.
24 But since you refuse(O) to listen when I call(P)
and no one pays attention(Q) when I stretch out my hand,
25 since you disregard all my advice
and do not accept my rebuke,
26 I in turn will laugh(R) when disaster(S) strikes you;
I will mock(T) when calamity overtakes you(U)—
27 when calamity overtakes you like a storm,
when disaster(V) sweeps over you like a whirlwind,
when distress and trouble overwhelm you.
